| Thoughts on the future of being a developer. Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:24 AM PDT Lately I have been having a bad case of imposter syndrome and this has been backed by the fact a site I would have done for $3000 is now being done on a page builder on wordpress by a teenager for $400 A few months ago I began preparing to move away from websites and focus more on Web apps and mobile apps. Then today I discover AWS Honeycode that will allow users to create mobile apps and webapps without any knowledge of coding. I feel like the programming industry has become an industry where we literally develop solutions to make doing our job easier for people who have not spent most of their life training for. I got my first web development job over 10 years ago and I have seen the industry change massively. Where I have spent every year training and keeping up with new languages, frameworks etc. Don't get me wrong it's beautiful seeing all of the advancements in technology. Programming for me is not only a job, it's a hobby. I love it and always have. But it's becoming a very uncertain career aspect in my opinion, well unless you are in the handful of developers working on these solutions. I'm interested in hearing what you think as I can't be the only senior developer sitting thinking this. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Most practical ways to make extra money as web dev Posted: 24 Jun 2020 08:22 PM PDT Hello all. I already work a full-time job as a mid/senior dev. The pay/benefits/flexibility are good but I need to make some extra side hustle money. I'm thinking something around $1,000 a month, maybe an extra 5-10 hours a week. What kinds of side-gigs are available for a developer who can't be fully available during a typical M-F, 9a-5p schedule? I can crunch it during late evenings, or weekends. My focus is primarily front-end. If this is the wrong place/format, forgive me and let me know where I should post; I'm usually a lurker around this sub. [link] [comments]  | ||

| CSS has been difficult? Any tips to better approach it? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:36 AM PDT I've been trying to learn css for a week now and my ignorant self assume it was gonna be easy compared to a programming language. However I can follow a programming language logic like python or c much easier then I can understand the openness of css. When I try to create something in css the element does completely the opposite of what I assume it was going to do. Is there way to learn how to approach css better because I'm having a lot of trouble following its logic. Thank you for any tips. [link] [comments]  | ||

| How hard is it for a new user to get work on sites like Upwork? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 09:11 AM PDT I am thinking about freelancing and so naturally I decided to check out places like UpWork since I don't have an existing client base. After briefly browsing through the freelancers on there, I noticed a lot of them have been on the platform for a significant amount of time and have testimonials from people they've worked with. As a client, I would be inclined to hire someone with a proven track record then a guy who registered his account yesterday. Would I have to significantly lower my rates to get my first clients on there? [link] [comments]  | ||
| First freelance client complete Posted: 25 Jun 2020 03:58 PM PDT Today I finished my very first freelance client along side my full time dev job (yes I have permission to do this). I originally messaged a random local business offering them a website for a low price as I just wanted to have a go making another business a website 100% all me. About a month later I get a message saying they're interested and I originally planning on doing it for free, pull a figure out my ass of £125. I meet them in person ask what they're after and what features they want. I built a design inspired from theme forest. Got WordPress on the backend which I had never used before. Got everything set up and finally launched today. They are extremely happy with what I made and although I really underpriced myself this has been a huge learning experience. I'm going to try and get some new clients and charge £600+ Just feeling so satisfied that I managed to do my first private work and wanted to share with everyone. [link] [comments]  | ||
| What is a good ad network that does not require substantially original content? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 10:45 AM PDT I have a website which serves only as a search engine for a public domain database, so it has a lot of content, but it does not have any original content. It's already been rejected by AdSense and Media.net. What ad networks are there that do not require original content? [link] [comments]  | ||
| How to become a better designer? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 03:09 PM PDT I've been working in the industry for about 2 years now as a Vue.js and .NET C# developer. I'm looking to improve my skills outside of work as a website creator and designer. I consider myself a skilled programmer, but where I struggle is with design. I have a very solid grasp of HTML/JS/CSS, but i still struggle making my websites look attractive and professional. There are so many resources on how to build websites, but very few on how to make those websites look creative and beautiful. Could anyone point me in the right direction or towards some helpful resources? [link] [comments]  | ||
| How do you measure your work metrics? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:23 AM PDT Hopefully this is the right sub for this. I'm just became the manager for a small dev team (I was a dev on the team for 2.5 years prior). We're trying to switch up our metrics and I'm wondering what you guys have found is a good way to measure work/efficiency when reporting it to non-devs. In the past that's been the biggest challenge with upper management with them not knowing how to assign value to the work we do. So tl;dr is basically - what are your key performance indicators (KPIs) as a developer? [link] [comments]  | ||
| How would you share CSS between a React SPA and a server-side rendered site? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 08:55 AM PDT A few routes on my site are built like an SPA with Create React App and the other parts are server-side rendered with Django. Do you guys know if it would be possible to share CSS styles between both these parts of the site? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Help retrieving text content from a web page Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:52 AM PDT Hello, I'm trying to solve a problem where a user wrote a long comment on a forum, but unbeknownst to them there is a character limit. Their comment exceeded the character limit, so upon trying to submit the comment they got an error. They want to retrieve the full text of their comment, but their comment box is collapsed, showing only a couple of lines. There is a "try again" button that for a split second shows the entirety of the comment, but then immediately results in the same error message. There is a "show more" button in the corner of the comment box, but the error seems to have disabled it. I've tried selecting the div in dev tools to get the innerText content, but it only shows the first couple of lines and the "show more" which is usually a button but seems to be part of the text now. When I click try again the box fully expands for a split second, but I have been unsuccessful in selecting that box in dev tools to get the innerText. My thought is that, since that try again button shows the whole post, I should be able to retrieve that text somehow. Is there a way I can "freeze" my window immediately after clicking "try again" so that it'll be stuck in the state in between expanding the post (so we can see all of the text) but not yet popping up the error message modal? Please, any ideas would be helpful. I know there must be a way to get this text. Thank you! EDIT: Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I was able to get it by immediately invoking the debugger as soon as I clicked the "try again" button which froze the state of the page before the modal was able to pop up. I was then able to select the divs in the devtools and get their text contents. Thank you! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 04:13 PM PDT I have an interesting scenario that I'd like some input on. Vendor A - Rebuilt website, manages hosting etc. Vendor B - Manages ads, analytics, SEO etc. Vendor B was tasked with creating ads on several channels including Facebook & Google. When creating the ads, they used old URL's that have permanent 301 redirects in place to new URL's on current site. After launching the ads on several networks, links that were treated as 301's were broken & leading to 404's. As it turns out, the redirects were not taking into account query parameters that were appended to the URL's in question. This is now fixed, but there's a blame game coming from Vendor B saying that it was Vendor A's responsibility to make sure those links worked & that all redirects (regardless of any query parameters) were working correctly. Yes, it WAS Vendor A's responsibility to manage all redirects when the site was rebuilt but would it not have been Vendor B's responsibility to test the links in the ads before going live with them? I'm mostly asking for my own clarity, as I don't like playing the game of "who fucked up". Any insights & opinions are welcome. If I've missed any pertinent info please let me know.

| I couldn't find a good resource to validate tax ID numbers, so I made one myself (JS/Vue/Python) Posted: 25 Jun 2020 08:41 AM PDT There are so many different tax ID formats around the world, and I needed something to validate them all (or almost all). Over a long period of time, I wrote validators for each country, and then assembled them into one web app and finally put a public face on it. It was a really fun and nerdy project to work on. Happy to discuss the development process, technical details, or answer any questions! Normally I would use Node.js for the back-end, but back when I first started on it, I never intended to make it into a web app, and I wrote most of the validation logic in Python, so I stuck with Python and used Flask as my web framework. I was a little nervous about the performance, but after some testing, it's performing fine, even on a really low-end instance. If I ever had to scale it up, I might move the Python logic to a serverless architecture, then re-do the rest of the back-end (account setup, account administration stuff, etc) with Node.js.

| How I develop "modern" JavaScript apps. Posted: 25 Jun 2020 05:09 AM PDT I have been working with Node for a long time. I love it. It's easy to use, setup, and develop both ends of any app. I was using an HDD when I started, and it was a nightmare. The space used by the I stopped bootstrapping new projects with I bootstrapped 3 Node apps for the frameworks I use (Angular, Ionic, and React), and didn't write any code in them. Whenever I want to develop or run an app, I'd just have to copy the actual source code to the targeted framework npm directory. Wanna start a new app? No problem. Just swap the The downsides for this approach was Version Control. The hidden versioning assets of Git would always get messy. I stopped using it altogether, since I was selling apps online, and freelancing. Now. A couple years later. I am using an SSD. File operations are fleet-footed. I am using Git. Life's good. Yesterday, I was formatting my machine, and decided to go delete everything by hand, since I wanna make sure I don't delete something important. I found out that I was storing +65GB worth of So, I wrote a small Node script that enables you to avoid the swaphell I used to do. The script is basically a "pre-npm-run" step. It reads all of the project's required modules from the global npm directory using the Should I continue doing this? [link] [comments]  |
